ELMOS Semiconductor AG (FSE: ELG) sells the special packaging business of
its subsidiary ELMOS Advanced Packaging B.V., Nijmegen, the Netherlands, to
an investment company owned by Dutch financial investor 'Nimbus Hands-On
Investors'. The sale is carried out within an asset deal framework.

Over the last years, ELMOS Advanced Packaging has reached a technological
leadership position in the development and manufacturing of special
packages for semiconductors and sensors. Third-party sales of the sold
business unit will be below 10 million Euro in 2010, generated with about
70 employees. The purchase price is a low single-digit million Euro amount;
in addition, a profit-related component has been agreed. Closing is
expected by year-end 2010.

In order to guarantee the continued development and supply of ELMOS, a
cooperation agreement for the development and manufacture of special
packages has been forged.
